Adding a roof to your garden will not only enhance the beauty of a setting but may also add to the value of your home. Keeping that in mind, opting for the good quality material may be a good investment.
A garden shed can be classified by its style of construction. Here are some of the common roof styles that can be adopted so as intensify the overall appearance of the house. Make sure, the material you use compliment your house as well.
Flat roofs are those that are laid in horizontal direction with a slight inclination. These are the most simple to build and allows water to get drained easily. Gable roofs commonly known as pitched roofs are little more inclined than the flat roofs.
Mono pitched roof has a single angle, that looks like a porch or a right angled triangle from the side. In this roofing style, slopes are not very steep. Moreover this technique doesn't allow water to stand over the shed.
Another kind of shed that can beautify your garden is hipped roof. A hip roof is one that is conical in shape and contains no gables. These are highly durable in extreme weather conditions. The only disadvantage of this roof type is the less space, making maintenance slight difficult.
Mansard roofs are similar to that of hipped roofs and are often used to decorate the garden. Unlike hipped roofs, they makes maximum use of inner space. They have two slopes on each of the four sides in a way that lower slope is steeper than the upper one.
The work of roofing is not completed with defining the type of your shed. Still one thing is left that needs precise attention is the material you use to make a purposeful shed. You can adopt wood, plastic, or metal for that. Using timber is the best option since it provides life to your courtyard shed. Moreover metal being stronger is used to cast pent or gable roofs.
You can also use plastic for the topside covering of the garden. Although, plastics are a cheaper way to cover the courtyard, but an ugly looking plastic can ruin the complete of the setting. Since garden has become a good source to decorate your house, one should smartly invest into it.
